Hawaii Head Start

Head Start is a national child development program for children from birth to age 5 and their families.

The Department of Human Services licenses Head Start Programs as childcare centers. However, in accordance with HRS 302L-1.5(e), under Act 178 of Session Laws Hawaii, 2012, functions of the Head Start Collaboration Office have been transferred from the DHS to the Executive Office of Early Learning.
